Description

Removing a team's review request looked up a review by the negated team ID, which for the team with ID 2 is the ID of the built-in Actions user, and marked the review it found as official. In the organization that owns that team, a user who can change the review requests of a pull request could make an approval left by the Actions user count toward the approvals required by branch protection. Merging still required permission to merge. Removing a team review request no longer changes any review.
